Isildur’s Bane: aka my Christmas present

Warning: to fully understand the following blog and its rich depths of humor, you need to have a passing familiarity with: Mid 1980’s video game systems, Comic Book movies, and The Lord of The Rings (the movie version is sufficient as I actually quote a cheesy line delivered in the film.). Oh, and it would [...]

It was a lovely little season…

Merry Christmas! I have finished compiling more pictures for our Christmas slide show, and I set the music to The Blenders version of “A Tiny Little Christmas”. The song was Erin’s idea. I am going to attempt to actually post the video on this site, but I’ve not been able to have luck doing it [...]

Merry Christmas Eve!

In honor of it being Christmas Eve, I thought that I would post one of my all time favorite Christmas poems. So get cozy, turn on some music, grab some egg nog or Christmas Tea, and enjoy! I hope it puts you in as good of a Christmas Mood as it does me.

A Tale of Two Nerds.

If you had read the comments of my previous blog, you might have noticed that I have committed a grave family error in trying to promote the idea that the movie version of LOTR was better than the book. (Can I still say that the LOTR movie(s) is one of the best movies ever made? [...]

A White Christmas

Today we had a practice Christmas in Omaha. At precisely 6:00 AM, my eyes popped wide open, and I knew I was wide awake. Since it was practice Christmas, I guess I was practicing being wide awake. I tried to get back to sleep, but my brain (or my bladder) wouldn’t let me. I rolled [...]

In Which I Ramble…

I just finished reading “The Chimes” by Charles Dickens a few days ago. This is his second “Christmas Book”, even though it took place during New Years Eve. I have a hunch they are called his Christmas books because they were published around Christmas time.  I found the story to be very good and spooky, [...]

זה מוזר

Yes, for you sharp eyed readers, there have been a few minor changes to my website. Note the lovely Hebrew text above. No, I haven’t been studying too many Semitic languages.  I was just bored, and having some fun with google translator. The name of my blog is still the same, it’s just written in [...]

Six

Well, it’s that special time of year again in which I make myself an emotional wreck. Yup, it’s another exciting episode of Birthday Video of my darling children.
I actually finished Ryan’s video last week, and I am really happy with the results. I think there is maybe one or two pics in it that I [...]

Cheerfully Reinforcing Stereotypes.

(First of all, I would like to point out that yes, it is snowing on my website. Enjoy.)
I hope that the stereotype that all McDonald’s workers are losers with no futures to speak of is true, at least for the one I went to last night. I shudder to think that any of them would [...]
